Re: [DML] R134a

["Tom Niemczewski" <dmctom@xxxxxxxxx>]

400KG? As in kilograms? umm, NO ;)
You can safely use the same amount of R-134a as R-12. Normally you should 
use 90-95% of the original R-12 amount, but since our cars were at first 
using more and then the amount was lowered you can use exactly the same. You 
will find that your A/C will work great!
2.2 lbs or if you're metric just use 1000 grams (1kg)
Again, same amount regardless if it's R-12 or R-134a.
I've charged quite a few A/Cs on DeLoreans and they work great.

Good luck
